A conversation featuring Erica Berry, Liz Weinberg, Becky Mandelbaum, and Caitlin Scarano.

In our divided social and political context, what can we learn from narratives about animals? What are the ethics, challenges, and joys of writing and imagining the nonhuman world? How can we undo the constructed divide between humans and animals? In this reading and conversation, four writers from across genres will read from their own animal narratives and discuss what it means to write from, for, and to nonhuman beings.
